Saudi Pro League spending to continue in January; Salah tops shopping list

The Saudi Pro League will continue their mega spending spree in January.

The likes of Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal raided the Premier League for some of their biggest names over the summer.

And a SPL source says they'll be back in January - particularly as Saudi Araba have announced they're bidding to host the 2034 World Cup. And top of their shopping list will be Liverpool ace and Al-Ittihad target Mohamed Salah.

"We have said all along we want to be one of the most successful leagues in the world," a source told The Times. "This is not just for the short term.

"Of course, if we were to be awarded the World Cup we want our league to be even more successful so we will be trying to attract more players and better players."
